Are you setting goals? Well, if not, you have better start immediately. In fact, right now, go grab some paper and upon finishing this article, write down some goals. Why am I so adamant that you set goals? It works. If you have a vision, have expectations, your road to getting reach your destination is a lot smoother. Goal setting for your business is crucial!
Are you goal setting for your business?
Well, are you? If you are, that’s great. Continue to set goals. You should have both long-term and short-term goals. Next month, next year, next decade. Have didn’t time frames in which you plan to achieve certain things. Goal setting is about putting your vision down on paper. I want to do $1,000,000 in sales next year. I want to have 25 employees within two years. I want to open an office for the business within 12 months. Whatever your goals may be, write them down and get precise. Write down exactly what you want to achieve and this will train your mind to understand that anything short of those goals is unacceptable. Trust me, your brain responds. Also, my being very definitive in your goal setting, makes it easier for you to reflect on the progress you have made towards achieving those goals. If you take a broad approach and have goals along the times of I would like anywhere from $1,000 in sales to $1,000,000 in sales, your vision could become cloudy. Your vision needs to be concise and your path to get there should be a lot easier (but still really hard, because accomplishing big goals is never easy).
Vision Boards
A vision board is something that I have used successfully in laying my dreams out in picture format. I made two version boards. One consisted of my family, relationships, and my desire to someday have a wife and children. My other vision board was strictly business and wealth. It had pictures of success and things I want to be able to experience in my life as a result of achieving my goals. I have not accomplished everything on my vision boards, but I only made them two years ago. One thing is for sure, I will accomplish them before my life is complete. I am absolutely committed to achieving them. I suggest you put down some goals and numbers, but I also suggest you make yourself up a vision board and put some pictures on there of things you desire in your life. It doesn’t need to be anything special. I can’t tell you how many times I have looked at that vision board and immediately found motivation. They can be fun and motivating, not a bad combination.
